Attorney Scott Lemon says his client, whose real name is Roland Collins, was on his way to visit family Sunday evening when he was shot twice at the intersection of East 91st Street and Linden Blvd in East Flatbush.

Police say the 31-year-old Collins was in a red Maserati when a man fired several rounds into the car, striking Collins once in the shoulder and grazing his head.

Collins apparently drove himself six blocks away in an attempt to get to the hospital before he pulled over and a good Samaritan drove him the rest of the way to Brookdale Hospital.

According to WNBC, a bullet is currently 'lodged into his back, and doctors are currently trying to figure out whether or not to remove it.'

At the time of the incident, his girlfriend was riding in the passenger seat of the $145,000 car, but was not harmed, Collins' attorney said.

The couple was heading to his family's house for Christmas dinner, WABC reported.

In a statement, his lawyer said: 'Tonight, Troy Ave was targeted again... on Christmas.

'In Brooklyn, going to meet his family for the holiday, he was shot two times. Thankfully, he will survive the second attempt on his life.

'As we have said from the beginning — he is a victim. We pray for his speedy recovery.'

Fellow New York rapper 50 Cent went to go visit Collins in the hospital on Sunday evening.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, shared a photo to Instagram standing next to Collins' hospital bed, as Collins has a bandage around his head.

'Dope boy Troy all good, Merry Christmas', the 'In Da Club' rapper wrote as the caption.

Collins is free on on $500,000 bail following his May arrest in connection with a shooting that left his bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter dead inside Irving Plaza, which is a popular Manhattan concert venue.

He has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges.

The Brooklyn-born MC allegedly fired on patrons when a gun battle broke out in the Irving Plaza Concert Hall on May 25.

But Collins, who was shot in the legs in the fight, said in August that he is a victim and is now suing the venue for not checking people for weapons before they were let in, DNAinfo reported.

Collins, who was due to perform onstage that night, said security guards let in artists and their guests through a side entrance without patting them down or using any kind of metal detector.

And although he was allegedly caught on camera firing a gun that night, his lawyer also maintains he did not bring a firearm into the venue

Back in May, police say Collins fired a gun into bystanders at New York concert venue Irving Plaza. He says he didn't bring a gun, and that the venue failed to check other performers for firearms

'[If it weren't] for their actions Troy never would have been shot, and none of the incidents that took place that night would have happened,' Leemon said.

'He is the victim here. He did not bring a gun into this place, and we are seeking redress for the negligence.'

The suit says that someone else shot Collins backstage - leaving him with 'disabling injuries which will forever affect his life, his career and his pursuits.'

But police believe that Collins shot himself during the gunfight, causing a bullet to go through one leg and into the other.

He is now demanding unspecified damages from the venue, which is owned by Live Nation.

Collins was one of three people injured in the shooting; his friend McPhatter was the only fatality.

Police had initially believed Collins shot McPhatter, as the gun linked to his death was allegedly found in Collins's car, but they now believe the shooter was someone else.

After the May incident, Collins rapped about the shooting and said: 'I'm a pretty fly n**** that'll shoot ya.'

Earlier this month, the hometown hip hop star spoke to high school students at Columbia University's Teachers College and showed them his ankle monitor in an effort to encourage them to make the right decisions in life.

He said: 'This comes from choices, choices I had to make at the time. It was either fight for my life or fight for my freedom.... Now I gotta fight to clear my name.'

The All About the Money rapper is due back in court on January 26 in regards to the May shooting.
